Extra space around widget windows.... [message #16053] Wed, 30 June 1999 00:00 Go to next message

I'm having trouble controlling the amount of excess space IDL seems to
want to put
at the left and at the bottom of a table widget window. I see no way of
eliminating this
extra space or of at least making it appear on all four sides. Any help
would be greatly
appreciated.

For example here is a piece of code that realizes a small widget table
that has this problem.

varNams = ['NCB','KPB','DIMAX [kA]']
numNams = size(info.br_names,/n_elements)
numVars = size(varNams,/n_elements)
sc4 = $
[info.rtc_ncb, info.rtc_kpb, info.rtc_dimax]
sc4 = transpose(reform(sc4,numNams,numVars))
base4 = widget_base(MBar=menuid, group_leader=gl, $
TITLE='SCREEN 4')
; define a action menu with a dismiss entry
actionID = Widget_Button(menuid, Value='Action', Menu=1, $
XSIZE=10,YSIZE=20)
quitID = Widget_Button(actionID, Value='DISMISS', $
Event_Pro='Wid_Destroy')
sc4_wid = widget_table(base4, $
units=2, xsize = numVars, ysize = numNams, $
column_labels=varNams, row_labels=info.br_names, $
column_widths=[1.4,1.4,1.6], /editable, $
value=sc4 $
)
widget_control, base4, /realize
widget_control, base4, Set_Uvalue=info.tlb
XManager, 'Screen 4', base4, /No_Block, $
Event_Handler='XCD_Screen4'

Note that I am somewhat of a beginner so please forgive me if this is
something obvious. It certainly isn't from the documentation.

Wow David, you ARE being restrained in your language this morning! :-)

BTW, since Im on line, many thanks for your very lucid tutorial on
Objects, earlier this week. (Have you ever considered getting a job
with rsi?)
